Odd that two teams both had two “third basemen” in the top performers last year. “Tatman” – aka Ryan Roberts came out of nowhere last year – he wasn’t even projected as a starter by the Diamondbacks heading into the 2011 year.

Okay, so what do my 2012 third base rankings look like?

Jose Bautista – no reason he won’t repeat

Adrian Beltre – room for more contributions in his second year in Arlington
